However, I suggest that you explore the possibility that Zionist christofascists and Israeli Zionist’s are really temporary and disposable tools of people like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreeson and the like.
Have you read Machiavelli?
Are you aware that religious or mythopoetic narratives have been hijacked for centuries now in order to smooth the way for ecocidal and genocidal empires?
MAGA and the Trumpists and Israeli Zionism are not so much the inspiration for ecocide and genocide as they are the natural evolution of racist and eugenicist narratives that have been around for centuries.
See Edwin Black’s work “War Against the Weak” if you have not already read it.
I find it astounding that people miss the fact that Arthur C Clarke - best know as author of “2001: A Space Odyssey” stated clearly that the time of biological evolution is over. Now - he and his wealthy, powerful white friends sgreed - is the time of “mechanical evolution.”
Peter Thiel and Elon Musk and a few ultra wealthy powerful folks see the biosphere as a sacrifice zone from which they have already separated themselves.
We are the fuel for their transformation into eternal digital beings. Look at the religion of Ray Kurzweil and other silicon valley cultists.
As you explore the death cult alliance, please do focus on these important facts of the matter.
MAGA and Christofascism and Zionism are useful tools for people who believe in nothing other than ecocide and genocide. Cruelty is the point, and the futile chimera of godlike individual eternal life is an irresistible temptation for some as well.
Technology is the new evolution, salvation, and liberation - all rolled up into one leap of egocentric faith for a few people who are very glad to see all of us and all of our more-than-human relations burn behind them.
Gil Duran at The Nerd Reich and others have been covering this.
The Death Cult Alliance uses various mythopoetic narratives - this is nothing new.
Fascism has always done this.
Now we need to unite together in communities of mutual aid that are rooted in earth. The odds are pretty poor that anyone will “survive”. But survival has never been the point.
The point has always been to truly thrive - to live and love and make a way for life as best as we can.
I agree with 100 percent of this, except for the bits I am unfamiliar with, but suspect I will agree again when I get familiar. Yes, religion is always used to smooth the path to genocide. Hey, we tried to convert them, but they wouldn't listen. Let's send the guys in on horseback. According to Howard Zinn it took just a couple of such guys to begin the subjugation of South American natives.
I agree, none of this is new, within two generations whatever we learned for the most part is lost. Written history may be worse this way than oral history. Written history is always written by the conquerors. Of course, you know this. I am thrilled to have a comment from you and such a thorough one that gives me so many leads for new investigation. Thank you.
Meatball Ron has proven to be Gestapo worthy. The slimy, pasty-white cretin in his white go-go boots already took away water breaks for people working outdoors in the Flori-Duh sun, so his foray into swampy penal colonies is a natural fit.
It seems the MAGATS are determined to outdo each other inflicting pain on people of color. Those who are guilty of the serious transgression of wanting safety and a better life for their families. The USA sure taught them a lesson.
Yes, I remember that about water breaks. Didn't Abbott do similar? Really sick, legislated death now embarking on a scale never remotely seen. People of color are the wedge. The dumb ass white people who put these terrorists in power are going to die, too. I wonder how many of these cretins will figure it out on their last breath.
Yes, revolution is the only chance. The system is trashed, dead, hopeless. If there is revolt, perhaps we will stop Fascism. However, climate change will not be impressed by this waste of time.
Yes, Geoffrey, Governor Abbott of Texas followed suit. Two of the hottest places to work outdoors in the U. S. and the “leader” of the state takes away their 10 minute water break. Purely punitive and supported by the MAGATS because the majority of those workers are people of color.
I despise living in this world of hate. Simple human kindness still exists, but, not in our government.
I wonder if the laws of survival — biggest, strongest, fastest — dictate sociopaths coming out on top. Those of us who exercise kindness seem to pay the price.
Maybe biggest, strongest, fastest best applies to animals that can't make moral and ethical choices. Supposedly, we can, which makes ruthless and evil legitimate descriptors.
There seems to be no limit to either lawlessness or the degree of inhumanity that may be inflicted, as long as it is done in order to “win at capitalism.”
Here's a survival tool for family engagements. You may have seen it as part of seven minutes of remarks by Raj Sisodia, a professor with a business perspective, whom I included in this post: https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/p/the-key-to-life
“Every single thing we do in this life should come from love. Every action, every statement, even if you have to let somebody go, the hardest thing you have to do, can you do it with love and not anger, fear, greed? Most business decisions come from fear and greed. Can you make that exact same decision but from a place of love?”
Understanding it's all about love and turning that into a moment-by-moment practice has made my life more livable in these disgusting times.
Thank you, Sue. Hopefully the get-together will be better than I anticipate. I'm reminding myself, it's just a few hours out of my life, but those hours grow evermore precious as we get older, don't they?
I'm mentally conditioning myself to stay calm should someone say something hateful or ignorant.
Yes, all of our acts should come from a place of love. We make our lives smaller by doing anything less. Now where did I put my sedatives?
The intent to come from a loving place will keep you calm if the sedatives wear off, let alone that a society doing that would give us our best chance to have a future. Would love a report back on how it goes!
Top post, goes from big picture (global and historical) to mid picture (Amerika) to small (personal)...lovely balance. Scathing, insightful, well researched and emotive writing....everything we have come to expect and rely on from Geoff. Respect from the European inferno!
Wow, thank you. I try hard to hit a lot of buttons. It's a bit of journalism that I try to make personal. Thinking of you in Europe warming twice as fast as Amerika with a K as you spell it. Thinking of everyone being impacted, those near the equator, those near the coasts, and especially the indigenous losing their ability to live their low impact subsistence lifestyles. So unfair. Wondering when the moment comes that I am gripped by fear.
I read some UK authors here, and have an awareness of what is going on over there. The slipping security of the average British citizen, trashing of the environment, and hideous political support for the Gaza genocide are very similar to here. Not surprising. Our countries were cut from the same cloth.
Excellent observation. I changed the photo caption to reflect that: "You can find this cap on Amazon from our friend of Democracy, Jeff Bezos. A savvy reader noticed the “established” date is 2023. Great catch. Has Alligator Alcatraz been in the plan for years? Nah, not in the land of the free, right?"
Great essay, my friend. Deep breath and into the forge of family meets. If nothing else, it'll give you great quotes or context for your next essay! Consider it 'research'.
Well said, friend.
I commiserate with you.

It’s going to take a revolution.

Is it really “biggest, strongest, fastest?” Or is it meanest, most ruthless and evilest that enable them to come out on top?

Alligator Alcatraz is tame. What the xristofascists REALLY want is Alligator Auschwitz.
An all too real possibility.

The UK can see what's happening in the States, who we follow now by only a few years or even months, but are still pushing the hatred of immigrants
I read some UK authors here, and have an awareness of what is going on over there. The slipping security of the average British citizen, trashing of the environment, and hideous political support for the Gaza genocide are very similar to here. Not surprising. Our countries were cut from the same cloth.
Those British taught us the abusive tactics they perfected over hundreds of years…and Native Americans reaped the whirlwind.
I note the cap says Est 2023, the t-shirt Est 2025.

I feel you.
“And your surgically augmented bride with a face like a crater? Total envy.”
Back in my day, we referred to that as a “shovel face.”
I lowered my standards when I wrote that little morsel. Sorry, lol.
Great essay, my friend. Deep breath and into the forge of family meets. If nothing else, it'll give you great quotes or context for your next essay! Consider it 'research'.
